Overview

Mission

The charity's trust instrument requires it to hold its corpus as an endowment and pay over its net income to the university of Michigan, a state university that IRS recognizes as being described in section 501(c)(3) and classsied as a public charity in section 509(a)(1) for the further purpose to support urological research and education.

What it reported doing in 2024

University of Michigan - endowment for urological study

Operating model

Revenue model
Investment-supported. 83% of the money available for current operations came from recurring investment income.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 95% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
